Kosta Koufos grabbed a season-high 12 rebounds on Monday, and also chipped in with eight points on 3-of-6 shooting and three blocks.

Koufos might get some extra minutes if the Grizzlies pull back on some of their big men, but in the thick of a seeding hunt that's hard to plan for if you're a fantasy owner. Even seeing Zach Randolph hobble around a bit with a sore knee, we'd need to hear that he's in danger of missing time before we advise a pickup. Mar 30 - 11:16 PM

Kosta Koufos started in place of Zach Randolph (illness) on Tuesday vs. the Jazz, scoring six points with 10 boards and one assist in 34 minutes.

Koufos is a decent streaming option in daily leagues whenever Marc Gasol or Zach Randolph are inactive, but owners searching for long-term value should look the other way. The Grizzlies play the Rockets on Wednesday, so Koufos may have another chance to start if Z-Bo can't go. Mar 3 - 11:03 PM

Kosta Koufos will start Tuesday's game in place of Zach Randolph (illness).

Koufos makes a decent temporary fantasy option but most owners should have more reliable long-term alternatives on the waiver wire. Z-Bo's absence will also open up more opportunities for backup big man Jon Leuer, and it will be all hands on deck for the Grizzlies tonight. Mar 3 - 7:49 PM

Kosta Koufos played a key role in Sunday's impressive win vs. the Hawks, scoring 10 points with seven rebounds and one block in 17 minutes off the Grizzlies' bench.

Jon Leuer chipped in four points and two boards in eight minutes, and Koufos is the lynchpin big man for Memphis' reserves, allowing Marc Gasol (16 points, 10 rebounds) to get a few much-needed breathers. Koufos doesn't have standard-league appeal in a backup role, but he'd be a solid pickup if Gasol every misses time with an injury. Feb 8 - 8:40 PM
